46. Fear

Fri Nov 22, 2013, 12:55 PM

Nov 2013

They'll never admit it, but it boils down to fear. Some people have difficulty with uncertainty and chaos. As best they can they organize the world into tidy systems, and all things are conformed to them. You learn a lot about the mob mentality that infects people, even liberals, when CTs are discussed. I view the auto-derision as a kind of safe, sanctioned prejudice. Liberals would never discriminate against race, gender, sexual orientation... but on idiot moonbat CTers it's open season. They're empowered by the establishment. Their theories and facts are always the right and only theories and facts, and everything is always settled... until it isn't. IMO they strut around sporting biased science and popular opinion as codpieces festooned with ostrich feather plumes.
